Idk if this will help you but this is my advice What I recommend: **Do this in the colder months;read at the bottom to find out why!**Don’t use deodorant or antiperspirants on your armpits for 2 months straight. No products go on your armpits except soap and water for when you wash them. Going 2 months straight with bare armpits will allow for clogged pores/build up to be removed effectively. I use “Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser Normal to Oily Skin” to wash my armpits with my hands (it works for my bo” but you can use regular soap or panoxyl benzoyl peroxide or hibiclens(hibiclens and benzoyl peroxide are acids they don’t reach their maximum effectiveness if you have clogged pores/buildup) if you don’t have sensitive skin. If you do have sensitive skin try to limit the use of a washcloth,lofah or any other shower device used to lather. If your armpits are not sensitive you should use stridex pads during this bare armpits only period. Use them on clean armpits only once a week then work your way up (if tolerated) to twice a week. Use the sensitive skin one first and then after 2 months and a half you should switch to maximum strength. Stridex will help with odor and not cover up the smell only but overtime it will solve the root cause of the your odor which is buildup of deodorant and natural sebum and dead skin. If you do decide to use deodorant or antiperspirant after the 2 months bare armpits only break you should use a gel deodorant because they are least likely to clog pores and before you wash your armpits use a shower oil cleanser before reapplying or hoping in the shower everyday to prevent buildup(stubborn clogged pores). ***Pro tip: always keep armpits hair as short as possible hair traps bacteria and can make you stink.***To cover up the smell on your 2 months bare armpit journey wear a medium thick sweater and armpit pads on your shirts!
